Iranian officials said two people were killed and several others wounded in the U.S. attack Sunday night on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by launching missiles at U.S. sites in Jordan, which were intercepted.

During the lull in fighting, the U.S. has been ratcheting up economic pressure on Iran with the hope of forcing concessions out of Tehran, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping.

Ukraine has relied heavily on a range of unmanned vehicles during the more than four-year-old war against ​Russia, and it is producing millions of drones annually as Ukrainian forces conduct thousands of drone strikes each day.

The attack drone order involves Shrike first-person-view (FPV) drones made by major Ukrainian manufacturer SkyFall and equipped with software from U.S. defence technology firm Auterion designed to autonomously track ‌and hit moving targets in ⁠the final phase of the flight.

“There is constant activity in the air almost everywhere,” says one Ukrainian soldier on the front line. He declined to provide his name or any details about where he’s been deployed, as he was not authorized to speak.

But real-life Star Wars, he says, is “unfolding right now.”

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), have arguably become the best-known characteristic of the Russia-Ukraine war now entering a fifth year.

The aircraft smashed down in a residential area of Pequannock Township in Morris County around 8:45 p.m. Thursday, according to police and dispatch audio.

Officials determined the craft was “a hobby or toy type of drone” and “not a large commercial or military grade drone,” the Pequannock Police Department told The Post.

It comes on the heels of New Jersey cops warning of possible “copycats.”

“What we think is it started as some sort of Picatinny Arsenal base surveillance drill or operation but once it exploded online, this became a copycat situation,” one Garden State police chief theorized.

Everybody’s concerned about the drones.  You mean our military command can’t figure it out?  People who should know claim to be baffled.  We can come up with explanations, but none quite satisfy.  For now, unbelievably, the government is playing dumb.  It must be something we’re not supposed to know.  I can’t wait until somebody shoots one down.

The big news this week is Syria.  Bashir Assad has fled to Russia, leaving behind his possessions which have already been ransacked by the local population.  The regime of some six decades has been toppled.  This has to have repercussions for Russia and Iran.  Russia operates a base on the Mediterranean coast and Iran was seen to be an ally of Syria.  The State Police have melted away after years of control.  Prisons are being emptied.

Russia’s attention on the Ukraine war and Israel’s routing of the terrorists led to Assad’s allies being thwarted on other fronts.  From the videos available, it seems the people of Syria are ecstatic.  There is no doubt Assad led with an iron fist, and the people are happy to be out from under the constant threat.  Thousands of people are congregating, celebrating Assad’s exit.  The place is now under “rebel control.”  They’re going to try to have an orderly transition.  We’ll see.

Suddenly Zelensky is talking about winding the war in Ukraine down.  After thousands have been killed on both sides, a truce?  Russia has brought in North Korean soldiers to help.

We’re celebrating the Trump effect.  Finally, a leader we can be proud of.  You notice, it’s gone awfully quiet on the left.  Former critics are beating a path to Mar-a-Lago and celebrations are going on.  Justin Trudeau is probably sorry he ran down there.  Trump joked about buying Canada and letting him be the governor.  Not to get carried away.

Trump’s picks to fill cabinet posts are enough to make you do the dance.  Some are having trouble, and others make us happy.  Recent years have led us to believe the government is our enemy.  They’re the last ones you’d want coming after you for anything.  Maybe that’s about to change.

Pete Hegseth is hoping to get confirmed, running all over Capitol Hill meeting with important people.  If Kash Patel is confirmed to head the FBI, and he’s expected to be, oh baby.  It’s been a mystery forever.

Apparently, much that has been hidden from the American people is going to be revealed.  I hope they don’t do it all at once.  There’s only so much you can take in, and this stuff has been going on a long time.  Maybe we’ll find out some of the things that have had us baffled.  Maybe some of the conspiracy talk will be verified or quelled.  We’ll see.

Here at home, things are looking up.  The whole world has gotten the message that Donald Trump is going to be president, and I think they’re jealous.
